I am reminded of when a theatre wanted to build a new performance space. So, they asked the community what they wanted. The ppl said "a grocery store." And the theatre went ahead and built the space nobody asked for anyway.

Caryl Churchill is 88, her husband (David Harter, socialist solicitor to the poor) died some years ago, she sold her house in Islington (bought in 1972, she sort of attacked herself in OWNERS), she's a great cook, if she has a big production somewhere she'll work with the director...

The first scene of Top Girls isn’t provocative because it’s a fantasia of historical women - it’s because when they’re unable to impress each other with success, they start trying to out-do each other with how much they’ve suffered.
